Officers were dispatched to a shooting at Weber Square near North Van Buren and West Park streets shortly before 5:30 p.m., said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department. When they arrived, they located a man in his early 20s suffering from at least one gunshot wound, authorities said. The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.

A resident who lives near the park said he heard four to five gunshots followed by the sound of sirens. One officer cordoned off the east side of the park with crime scene tape while others spoke to two men who were being detained at the scene. Police did not say why the men were being detained.

Investigators had no description of the killer and were still trying to determine a motive, Silva said.
